Lunar Rover with Multiple Science Handling Capability [PDF]
, 2008 A rover design study was undertaken for exploration of the Moon. Rovers that have been launched in the past carried a suite of science payload either onboard its body or on the robotic arm’s end.

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Estimating the critical angle of top near‐surface layers on the Moon
Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 693-704, October 2026.Abstract Near‐surface characterization of the lunar subsurface is essential for future exploration and infrastructure development, particularly for the construction of underground habitats that provide protection against radiation and micrometeorites. However, conventional seismic approaches for estimating subsurface properties typically rely on prior ...

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Study on locomotion systems of lunar exploration roverson loose soil
Studies in Science and Technology, 2012 In future lunar exploration missions, lunar rovers are required to traverse over very rough terrain. On the lunar surface, there are covered with soils, which are named regolith. Regolith is easy to slide.

Impact Craters Reveal a Deeper Rock‐Poor Regolith in the Lunar Highlands
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract The only measurements of the highlands regolith occurred at the Apollo 14 and 16 landing sites, finding 10–15 m thick regolith; however, we show that the Apollo landing sites are anomalous due to their proximity to rare, highlands rocky craters and because they landed atop basin ejecta. Through observations of rocky crater populations, we show

Detecting Volatiles Deep in the Lunar Regolith
, 2015 International audienceThere is increasing theoretical and empirical evidence, from the Apollo era and after, of volatiles deep in the lunar interior, in the crust and deeper, both hydrogen-rich and otherwise.
